>> To the Board of Directors:
>>
>> Our staff has completed the 18 months of work on time and on
>> budget. We have gone through every line of code in every program in
>> every system. We have analyzed all databases, all data files, including
>> backups and historic archives, and modified all data to reflect the
>> change. We are proud to report that we have completed the "Y-to-K" date
>> change mission, and have now implemented all changes to all programs and
>> all data to reflect your new standards:
>>
>> Januark, Februark, March, April, Mak, June, Julk, August,
>> September, October, November, December
>>
>> As well as:
>>
>> Sundak, Mondak, Tuesdak, Wednesdak, Thursdak, Fridak, Saturdak.
>>
>> I trust that this is satisfactory, because to be honest, none of this
>> Y-to-K problem has made any sense to me. But I understand it is a global
>> problem, and our team is glad to help in any way possible. And what
>> does the year 2000 have to do with it? Speaking of which, what do you
>> think we ought to do next year when the two digit year rolls over from
>> 99 to 00?
>>
>> We'll await your further direction.
